• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: House will give the Report the kind of attention it deserves so that we ensure that devolution succeeds, as it was intended. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join the rest of my colleagues in giving the necessary attention to the statement which has been requested by Sen. Prengei. You will recall that, earlier before this exercise was undertaken, I brought a question to this House that led to the invitation of the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government together with his Permanent Secretary and the rest of the team that was to undertake this exercise. Though half-heartedly, the House gave them the greenlight and stamp of approval because many of the things that we questioned were not brought ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I add my voice to this issue and declare that my interest is, first as a legislator and purely personal as someone who loves this city. I was born and educated in the city. Therefore, it is in my personal interest to see Nairobi continue to thrive as we have known it over the years. I have heard many of my colleagues speak with a sense of cynicism about the success that we can achieve as a House. I have said on many occasions that Members of this House do not understand how powerful we ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Yesterday, we were told how two Committees of this House walked into Kitui Prison, and after that visit alone, more than 500 prisoners were let free. This is because they were incarcerated but they did not deserve to be in prison. They were let go just by a simple act of this House walking into those prison walls. That is how powerful the Senate of the Republic of Kenya is. Any time we speak, we should not appear as if we lack solutions. Anytime a person appears before this House either by way of Committee or plenary, they know its ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko and I served in the Select Committee that looked into the impeachment proceedings of the Governor of Taita Taveta County. He knows what phone calls did during our meetings. I do not want to go to that direction. I am not casting aspersions on the conduct or the character of any of our colleagues. However, having served in a select committee and sat through a plenary session, I believe that we achieve more at a plenary session. I call it spreading the risk. It is more difficult for someone with the intentions of arm twisting ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: context of my argument. I am not casting aspersions on the conduct of any individual in this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I propose that we should listen to the concerns that have been raised by our colleagues, Sen. Sakaja--- view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. needs to listen to the entire logic of my argument. I argued that whatever you can do to a select committee, it is harder to do it to a plenary. That is my whole point of argument. If we were use the example of the phone calls--- view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can neither confirm nor deny that the phone calls had a bearing on the final product. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if there is a person who improper motive on their conduct has been imputed, it is me. In the course of making my remarks, I mentioned that phone calls were made. There is no reference that those phone calls were to an individual Senator. Secondly, I never stated that it is on the basis of the phone calls that people made the decision. That is why I urged Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. to listen to the entire context of my argument. I said that whatever can be done to a select committee would be harder to do ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Poghisio was on phone when I began making my argument. That is why he does not seem to understand the whole context of my argument. However, since I do not want to waste the time of the House--- view
